“…Here we test the monophyly of three groups that are potentially important because they group a large number of species, but have only moderate or low nodal support in the Acantholimon s. (Figs 1, 2). In addition, we tested the monophyly of Acantholimon in its traditional sense, which was not conclusively rejected in a previous study (Moharrek et al, 2014). For this, Acantholimon s.s. was constrained as a monophyletic group.…”

Acantholimon is an important component of the subalpine steppe flora in the Irano-Turanian region and the second largest genus of Plumbaginaceae with c. 200 cushion-forming subshrubby species. Because the genus has been poorly represented in previous phylogenetic studies, questions regarding its monophyly, phylogenetic relationships and infrageneric classification have not been addressed in a solid evolutionary framework. We used sequences from the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers and the plastid trnY (GUA) -trnT (GGU) intergenic spacer for 197 accessions of Acantholimon and nine putatively closely related Asian genera in Limonioideae. Contrary to previous results, Bayesian, maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony analyses show that Acantholimon is not monophyletic unless its limits are extended to include species currently placed in eight of these Asian genera. As circumscribed, the new Acantholimon s.l. is sister to Goniolimon and includes the following genera: Bamiania, Bukiniczia, Chaetolimon, Cephalorhizum, Dictyolimon, Gladiolimon, Popoviolimon and Vassilczenkoa. Our phylogenetic analyses also challenge the existing classification at the generic and infrageneric levels. A maximum likelihood reconstruction of ancestral states for morphological characters illustrates the possible scenarios by which the cushion architecture combined with linear acuminate leaves, also present in other steppic Irano-Turanian elements, were acquired in this group of Plumbaginaceae. Our study shows the importance of extensive taxon sampling for phylogenetic reconstruction of species-rich lineages.ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS: Irano-Turanian region -ITS -molecular phylogenetic analysis -morphological character evolution -plastid trnY-T.

Plumbaginaceae is characterized by a history of multiple taxonomic rearrangements and lacks a broad molecular phylogenetic framework. Limonium is the most species‐rich genus of the family with ca. 600 species and cosmopolitan distribution. Its center of diversity is the Mediterranean region, where ca. 70% of all Limonium species are endemic. In this study, we sample 201 Limonium species covering all described infrageneric entities and spanning its wide geographic range, along with 64 species of other Plumbaginaceae genera, representing 23 out of 29 genera of the family. Additionally, 20 species of the sister family Polygonaceae were used as outgroup. Sequences of three chloroplast (trnL‐F, matK, and rbcL) and one nuclear (ITS) loci were used to infer the molecular phylogeny employing maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses. According to our results, within Plumbaginoideae, Plumbago forms a non‐monophyletic assemblage, with Plumbago europaea sister to Plumbagella, while the other Plumbago species form a clade sister to Dyerophytum. Within Limonioideae, Ikonnikovia is nested in Goniolimon, rejecting its former segregation as genus distinct from Goniolimon. Limonium is divided into two major clades: Limonium subg. Pteroclados s.l., including L. sect. Pteroclados and L. anthericoides, and L. subg. Limonium. The latter is divided into three well‐supported subclades: the monospecific L. sect. Limoniodendron sister to a clade comprising a mostly non‐Mediterranean subclade and a Mediterranean subclade. Our results set the foundation for taxonomic proposals on sections and subsections of Limonium, namely: (a) the newly described L. sect. Tenuiramosum, created to assign L. anthericoides at the sectional rank; (b) the more restricted circumscriptions of L. sect. Limonium (= L. sect. Limonium subsect. Genuinae) and L. sect. Sarcophyllum (for the Sudano‐Zambezian/Saharo‐Arabian clade); (c) the more expanded circumscription of L. sect. Nephrophyllum (including species of the L. bellidifolium complex); and (d) the new combinations for L. sect. Pruinosum and L. sect. Pteroclados subsect. Odontolepideae and subsect. Nobiles.
